The next day was earl of sandwich for lunch.
I of course had the amazing holiday sandwich again. Robert was in a mood because the queue was so long AND because the cannonballs sandwich wasn't on the menu anymore so I dont know what he had or have a picture of it. Holiday sandwich again. Delicious again. That evening we went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. The wait was 1 hour but we had a few things we wanted to get in the mall so that was fine and we wandered off for half an hour or so. Our table was only about 10 minutes wait after we arrived back at the restaurant. This was around 8pm on a Saturday night so not too bad I thought. Sorry the pics are so dreadful here, it was so dark inside. I've tried to lighten the pictures a bit using a photo edit app but still not great. We shared macaroni balls so start with. These were SO YUMMY! Middle of one macaroni ball on my plate (I think there were 4 all in) Robert went for the teriyaki chicken. He said this was really good but the amount of rice was unnecessary. Who can seriously eat that amount of rice?! Sorry it's so dark but you can clearly see the mountain of rice - I just had to check the online menu to see what this meal was called but I had chicken bellagio. This was SO GOOD! It was (from the menu) "Crispy Coated Chicken Breast over Basil Pasta and Parmesan Cream Sauce Topped with Prosciutto and Arugula Salad" Again, super dark photo but you can again see the portion was huge! Obviously I wanted cheesecake but I had to get it to go because no way would I manage it tonight. So this was breakfast the following morning - it was white choc and raspberry. And it was SO GOOD. I seem to say that a lot haha Lunch that day ended up being drive through at mcdonalds and Taco Bell. It was supposed to be quick service at typhoon lagoon but just as we reached lunch time a storm hit so everyone was taking shelter and stopping for lunch so we headed out. I went to Taco Bell first and got 3 tacos supreme and a cheesy fiesta potatoes. With a large drink. I think this was about $6. This looks gross but tastes so good! And the tacos were yummy as always. There was plenty meat hiding under there- No pics of mcdonalds, it was a double quarter pounder with cheese I think. I think this was about $8 for the meal. That evening was hollywood studios and I was dying to try the mac n cheese hot dog. It was pretty good. It came with chips aka crisps, which Robert was so disappointed about. He thought he was getting a hot dog and chips. He had the chilli dog but again no pic sorry. This was kinda messy to eat but tasty enough. Back to hard rock hotel again the next morning. I woke up with a craving for pizza and knew I could get pizza at the monster cafe in universal so that's where we headed. I had a giant slice of pizza. And a giant slice of chocolate cake Both were delicious! Robert got a burger. I'm sure I worked this out to be something like 3/4 lb worth of burger. No 1/4 pounders here! It was huge and Robert said it was really good and said it was the best theme park burger he'd had. (Not quite living up to 5 guys). Later afternoon we headed back to the hotel and by this time it was peeing down so our only option (of course) was to hit happy hour at the Velvet Lounge. Robert was on pints again and I think I started with a marg, but then decided to try out a mango bay breeze which was mango Bacardi, pineapple and cranberry. Ohhhh wow, why had I not tried one of these sooner. I think I had about 5 of these in the end haha! So yummy. Later we headed out (in the rain so s'cuse my hair) to margaritaville where I ordered the margarita flight. This was so cute and novelty and the drinks were lovely too. I can't really remember what each individual one was called but they were all really nice. Food wise, Robert ordered a burger (shocker). And I had quesadillas. I think this might actually be considered a starter but there was loads of food! I had a side ceasar salad with it too. I'm not normally a massive fan of salsa but it had loads of coriander in it which I LOVE so I ended up asking for more. After dinner it was back to hotel and we had a couple more drinks in the bar before bed.

Brilliant report. Love the food pics but loving the cocktails pics even more especially the margarita flight. Looking forward to reading somemore.
Can I ask- or may have missed it - did you stay at different hotels for your honeymoon?
